anonymous you just thought you knew the hendrix family.larra was convicted of child abuse on may 10 2010 in the jackson county courthouse in kc.. city people? 18 days later these boys did what they did, doing drugs with their mother and all that and do think that that's a good parent? wow!!!! the way some people think.
those two guys were my brothers when they lived at corning..and lara was my 2nd mom..this whole mess disgusts me, all of you pelple disgust me, your innocent until proven guilty amd this family was the best thing to happen to me..they were good people when i knew them..but i guess city people scum corrupts even the best souls
Wow, I had Art class with Matt. This is shocking. In class with a killer...
i used to go to school with matt. i just hope for the best! i hope he and his brother will get out of this mess.!! this dont sound like them. when they both went to school with me. they werent like this. but like what every one says ppl change. i just hope they r okay. well i hope for the best for them.
hi, i was once joes friend and he was an awesome kid. but the three monthes before this happened he changed from the kid i knew to someone kind of scary. i felt like he was lost in himself or something. he wasnt the joe i knew. i miss him alot. i cant belive this happened to him. i hope someday he gets out and makes good choices. no matter what ill still be there for him.
sonya can afford an attourney,what about larra.what,s she going to do? will she be left behind now.what a shame!
good for paige. you go girl.you will figure out what larra hendrix is just like the rest of us did.hopefully it won't be figured out the hard way.keep an eye open around the hendrix family but remember you don't have to live that way.

It appears Paige took some advice. Her facebook page states that she is single. I also found this entry under quotations somewhat enlightening.
me: "yeah we fight so much."
joe's mom: "i honestly think they fight so much just so they can have make up sex."
me: "oh you know it mom."
the family: "haha, teenagers these days."
It shows what kind of mother Joe's mom really is and I hope Paige runs as fast and as far away from that family as she can! Don't look back--they are LOSERS!! Anyone who would be caught up in murder is a LOSER!! No getting around it!
Being in college does not make a person smart. He's only 17 and now he's in Jail for a long time. Where's the common sense?
I know matt.... he is a dumb annoying kid but i believe the little fucker when he says he was outside for it all....and matt may have been dumb but he wasnt completely stupid he was in college
My prayers for Sonya and Micheal and family.God bless you. as for the hendrix family,yes my prayers as well.may God forgive them. my heart is broken. Two young men that could have had it all.God forgive us all for we all have sinned.It was my daughter that was treated badly. never again will she have to deal with that.i failed to protect my daughter.i moved her 400 miles away from friends and family all we had was them to help us and take care of us.we're back home now away from all the trouble.The comments that were made,well,eveybody has their opion. everybody's intitled to that. may god be with them where ever they go. loretta, nobody is laughing now. god bless you.
Paige lies about what she knows or she doesn't know the Hendrix family as she say's. If she knows Larra at all...she would also know Sonya.
If Paige has any involvement with Joseph, she needs to tell everything she know's to the investagators or face charges herself for withholding information and conspiracy.
Both boy's will be going to trial as adults and will be spend a long time in prison upon conviction of 2nd degee murder. They were both present and involved in a Felony act that resulted in a "death". This is not "in the past" as Paige declares.
Paige can choose to tell the truth or someone else can raise her baby as she spends her best years in Prison.
If she's stupid enough to defend everyone who is just trying to cover their own asses...she deserves to spend a long, long time away from society.
Appreciation to b in law Anthony and rest of family on an obituary for Mike today that hit exactly the right note.
Paige, I totally agree with both of the anonymous comments below. You need to live your life your way. I just hope your mind is not so foggy that you can't make the right decision or the best decision for you and your unborn child. And, it is true that people do get set up all the time, not disagreeing with that at all, but in this case what I stated is all facts and I'm sure if you wanted to find out the facts, then go to the courthouse and look the facts up yourself. LARRA and your boyfriend did teach a 9 year old how to get high. Do you know find that sickening that a mom would be getting high with her 15 year old son??? That is NOT normal at all!!! Look on Larra's facebook and you will see in a few of the pictures that the boy is wearing the hat that they bought him. Good luck again, the pressures of having a child at any age is alot to handle. But, it sounds like you have alot more pressures than most.
God Bless you and your baby!
just because she was convicted of child abuse doesn't make her guity. These days people are getting set up all the time for things they didn't do.specially if they don't have money to get a good laywer, these state appointed ones work for the state not you.
PAIGE, I wouldn't worry about what people are saying.This person trying to tell you how to live your life seems to have a few problems their self. Talking about a little girl and a 9 year old boy being abused by this women, well where was their father. I bet he a peach.Besides like the saying goes if it walks like a duck,talks like a duck,its a duck.Good luck.
OMG! Seriously....Paige are you that dumb?
Your so called babies daddy got a 9 year old high with marijuana AND took him to a head shop not far from where he lived. OH! And, your mother in law (LARRA) got high with them and taught him all the terms of marijuana and different types of marijuana. They both told him that getting high is cool and that if he continues to get high that he will get all the chicks!!!! HA HA! I guess you're dumb enough to fall for that one too (lol)! Oh, and I need to mention they bought him a hat with a marijuana leaf on it. HE'S 9 YEARS OLD. HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wake up before it's to late. But, that says alot about you because you are one of those chicks him and his mother are talking about, huh?
GIRL!!! Get a grip and get the hell away from this trailer park trash!!! If you want your baby to grow up surrounding yourself and him/her around low life's then it's your life. I just hope you're smart enought to realize it and get yourself away from the situation NOW before it's to late for you and your baby. I hate to see anyone suffer the effect that this 9 year old has had to suffer and endure. Him and his sister are in therapy because of Joseph and his mom. AND, why would a judge confict her if she wasn't quilty. I know for a fact it's true....YES she did try to sufficate a little girl by putting a bag over her head and SHE did leave bruises on her body. Do you really want to leave your baby with his/her grandmother???? I should hope not. You have alot to learn. Don't let them fool you, because they're not good people at all....look at all the circumstances and hopefully you can see the whole picture.
For the life of you and your child, GET OUT OF THIS HELL HOLE NOW! Give your baby a chance to grow up as a normal child with a loving mom, because more than likely daddy won't be around to help take care of him/her. And, seriously....do you really want that kind of role model daddy? I know you have in you to make the right decision for both of you.
Good luck and I wish you and your baby much happiness:-)
paige your a sad little girl.larra hendrix was convicted of child abuse on may 10 2010 in the jackson county courthouse in kansas city mo. that is a fact. you cannot change that.i'm glad you put out the info on joseph because that the first we have heard of that.i will pray for you matthew and joseph and larra.these folks need all the help they can get. may god be with you all.
I'am done talking about this! The past is the past,, They did what they did.. Yes i'll be here to support the hendrix faily knowing the fact the Joseph is my boyfriend, but other then that I have nothing more to say!
First of all Larra did not abuse any childern, & i know that for a fact! So please don't talk bad about her.. Unless you know the story! & I don't know Sonya, so i don't know the role she had that led to Mike's death.
& Joseph is not in prison, he's only 16.. so he's in juvy! I don't know about Matthew his brother though.
Paige:
What was Sonya's role in the events that led to Mike's death?
BAD CHOICE??? I ordered a bad meal tonite...thats a BAD CHOICE! Your pregnant??? You are carrying a BAD SEED! Are you F-ing crazy! Haven't you heard your babies grandmother Larra was convicted of child abuse last month???? The kid is not even born yet and it's daddy will be in prison...great start! Now that a really BAD choice you are making!It is a shame your parents did not raise you better then that...I bet they are real proud of you. WISE UP!
Yesss your right, he did make a bad choice, but everyone makes mistakes! Trust me i'm very upset with him, but not completely madd! He got talked into peer pressure of driving everyone to his house, mayb he should of been smart enough & not gone.. But it's to late now! & I won't move on until i know exactly what he's getting charged with.. With me carrying his baby, i'll always love Joseph & the same goes with his Brother Matt & the rest of the family..
If you know your boy friend so well....then why was he there? Was he set up? ...and how can you defend him? His life is ruined and you need to move on. And so far your education is failing you because you can't spell! Facts are facts....he was there and he is just as guilty as the shooter! And if Mike had not been around Sonya(a stripper) and her low rent friends he would still be alive. So now you can say you have the FACTS!

No reason to be rude, all i was saying is matt or joe didn't kill michael,, I think i know my boyfriend more then anyone writing on this page.. So like i said before, don't go pointing fingers unless you know the facts! Yeah they shouldn't of done what they did, but it's done & over withh. Hopefully they all learn there lesson that they can't get away with anything!
& Who are you to tell to go back to school? I'm pretty forsure i'll be a senior this year, but nice tryy. (:
YOU KONW WHAT!!!! I do not mean to be mean or anything...but I have to tell you that you poor girl are dumber than SHIT!!!-" they didn't think it would go as far as it did" ARE U KIDDING ME??? better said : They were not thinking at all !!!-be cause they have no brain to think with- just like you dumbass!!!
Just ask yourself why where they there, on the first place!????
"so everyone else can be let free!" - OH NO, NO, NO, they ain't going anywhere:)(10-30 years or life) and u poor girl should get away from those low life's and go back to school to educate yourself-GET SOME BRAIN !
Oh & another thing, please don't put down my mother in law, she's a great women & her boys mean the world to her, neither one of them would of shot this man! & Everyone knows it.
I'm Joseph Hendrix's girlfriend & I have a say in alot of this. I think there was alot of misunderstanding on what happened. Joe nor Matt knew someone had a gun, they didn't think it would go as far as it did! Me & Larra Hendrix have no say in this, since we don't know the real story.. But before anyone starts pointing fingers everyone needs to make sure they know the REAL DEAL! My boyfriend is in juvy because of all of this, & we are expecting so whoever did the shooting needs to come out so everyone else can be let free!
This is a child you are commenting about. How would you feel if others said such things about a child in your family.
IT's is a shame that so many people like to see others suffer.This family may need more prayer then judgment,The lord said I will be judge and executor.He with out sin cast the first stone.It seems to me people who make nasty comments are just as troubled as this family.
Matthew's mom is a piece of work herself. Bad apples don't fall far from the tree with this family!!! Karma is a bitch sometimes, right LARRA and LORETTA? You do bad things and bad things come back to haunt you. This one will or should haunt you forever. As for what you did to that little girl when you left bruises on her body and placed a plastic bag over her head and held it until she could no longer breathe will haunt her all her life!!! So, sorry to hear a man had to die before you realize that life is way to short and getting high with your children and teaching younger children in your presence to get high is not the best way to parent children today or ever. Maybe if Matthew grew up in a loving home with no drugs that non of this would of happen...SAD, VERY SAD!
guess what? the mother(larra hendrix) was just convicted of child abuse on may 10 2010 in the jackson county court house.i want to know if the mother had any thing to do with it.her and sonya were real good friends.matthew hendrix has threatened to kill before. this is fact.what will the future hold for poor little matthew.wonder if the grandmother(loretta hendrix)can get him out of this one?
How come when white kids kill, they get those real nice polite labels like "society killing" but when black kids kill, they get those real low life degrated labels like, "drug associated" or "gang related"?
Dear Pitch: Thanks for coverage of Tutera murder. One note of caution for everyone rushing to conclude that this was a "society killing"--ie, not a robbery/burglary gone wrong. For once, let the investigation take place and get the full story out. Then, to audible sighs of relief from the city's convention industry, it will be safe to conclude that this was not a robbery/burglary. Such crimes in elite neighborhoods scare away conventions, businesses, residents, etc--so when they take place there is invariably an immediate scramble by the press to declare it a "society killing." There is no need for the KCMO press corps to disgrace itself on this case the way that the national press corps has just disgraced itself over the Times Square bombing: I well remember how for hours the national press corps frantically seized on any straw that they could that this was the work of a "lone, deranged individual"--not that of a terrorist plot. You see, terrorists can strike again (Remember the 1993 WTC bombing?)--thereby scaring off businesses and tourists, whereas once the "lone, deranged individual" is safely in police custody NYC's business heart is perfectly safe. Sincerely, Respectfully and In Christ, Ernest Evans
Any information about Sonya is hard to find out there. No contact info anywhere and no one wants to talk about her. But yes, people are asking questions. I thought they were divorced?
Mike's wife Sonya is a good friend of Matt Hendrix's mother Larra Hendrix. Is anyone asking about Sonya's role in all of this?
